OUTFIT: ONE FESTIVAL - ONE LOOK

// Kimono: H&M // Playsuit: New Look (here) // Sandals: New Look (here) // Sunnies: Primark //

Happy Friday guys!

Festival season has already started and our annual Carneval of Cultures is soon knocking on our door as in next weekend. I'm extremely excited for that event because I always love joining the crowd and see many new cultures. It's all about having fun, getting to know many people and their origins and of course food. There are like so many dishes from many many cultures that I always love to try out. Oh .. can't it be next week already?

Now that Coachella is over and it has always been my fav festival of all. I've never been there before but I hope I can visit next year by God's grace! What I like most about festivals are of course the multitude fashion you have. To me it's basically the place to show off your style or isn't it?
For that I need to show off as well at next weeks Carneval of Cultures.
I picked out this african kinda boho inspired playsuit by New Look because I think those colors and textures goes super well with the theme which is cultures. Also added those crazy plateau sandals also from New Look which reflects my personal style as you know. I've always been the plateau loving kind and prefer them over heels.. 'Cause they're just so comfy and stylish. Quite the perfect shoes for a long carneval weekend. On top of that my beloved fringe Kimono that added a special flair to this whole look. Accessories like sunnies, rings, headpieces and so on are important essentials for a festival look this kind as well. Perhaps, the most important.
Can't wait to show off this look next weekend.

How about you? Are you attending festivals soon and what are you wearing or would wear in my case?

Much Love xx

REVIEW: KARNEVAL DER KULTUREN 2014 BERLIN

 

So last week i attended "The carnival of cultures" here in Berlin. It's always a big attraction for all of us and so much fun. Many people are even coming from all over the globe to be part of it.

The Karneval der Kulturen (Carnival of Cultures) is a four-day urban festival that reflects Berlin’s many faces. With a free and open programme, Karneval celebrates diversity.
During KdK, the public space gets transformed into a place for self-(re)presentation and play with cultural identities.
 Music and dance groups, professional and amateurs, children and adults take part in the parade through Kreuzberg. From anarchic performance over traditional dances to mash-up and remix; from high- to popular-, in KdK culture has many meanings. On the street-fest stages and the off-stages, world-renowned and up-and-coming bands and artists perform a variety of music styles: from reggae over chanson to classical sitar-music.
KdK is possible because of the various actors of the city. In it the different communities create a space of self-empowerment. The carnival gives place to a public sphere characterized by heterogeneity, hybrid identities and plurality.

As mentioned before last year Ghana won, so we weren't allowed to take part in the competition this year but anyhow we had so much fun and enjoyed ourselves with our homeland music and dance which is Azonto. You probably heard about it, i guess. The dance involves a set of hand movements that either mimic everyday activities or are meant to signal an often amusing intention.

Maybe you join us next year?

Much Love xx
